MEDICAL   EDUCATION  AND  MEDICAL  COLLEGES  IN   THE 
UNITED  STATES  AND  CANADA— 1765-1886. 


B 


\1 


The  most  suggestive  facts  revealed  by  a  study  of  the  tables  and 
data  presented  in  the  following  pages  are,  First,  that  the  number  of 
medical  colleges  has  not  increased  during  the  past  year ;  tm^,  Second, 
that  the  numbers  of  medical  students  and  of  medical  graduates  are 
decreasinglJ^here  are  still  128  institutions  for  medical  instruction  in 
the  TTnifed  States  and  Canada,  the  same  aggregate  as  at  the  date 
of  the  last  Eeport.  But  there  were  760  leas  students  in  attendance 
upon,  and  273  less  graduates  from,  the  sessions  of  1884-85  than 
upon  and  from  the  sessions  of  1883-81.  In  the  United  States  there  • 
were  953  less  students,  and  278  less  graduates.  In  Canada  there 
were  176  more  students  and  5  more  graduates,  'rtiii'd)  Qp  moro  i 
marked  uniformity  in  the  requirements  of  colleges. 

There  are  2  more  regular  schools  (101).  the  same  number  of 
homeopathic  (13),  one  less  eclectic  (11),  nuu  one  less  physio-medical 
(1),  which,  with  two  miscellaneous  or  mixed  schools,  make  the  ag- 
gregate (128)  as  before. 

Graduates  at  the  close  of  the  sessions  of  1884-85  have  presented 
diplomas  to  the  Tt,linois  State  Board  of  Health -as  the  basis  of 
applications  for  certificates  entiding  tc  practice  in  Illinois— from  42 
regular,  7  homeopathic,  3  eclectic,  and  2  physio-medical  schools; 
being  from  5  more  regular,  1  more  eclectic,  and  1  more  physio- 
medical  than  the  previous  year. 

Excluding  4  Canadian  schools,  the  graduates  of  11  out  of  88  reg- 
ular schools,  and  of  4  out  of  12  other  schools,  were  required  to  sup- 
plement their  diplomas  by  passing  examinations  before  the  Board 
in  those  branches  or  subjects  of  the  Schedule  of  Minimum  Kequire- 
ments  which  were  omitted  in  the  curricula  or  requirements  of  their 
respective  colleges.  In  the  previous  year  the  graduates  of  17  out  of 
31  regular,  and  of  4  out  of  6  other  schools  were  required  to  submit 
to  such  examination. 

It  should  be  understood  that  diplomas  issued  at  the  close  of  the 
sessions  of  1883-84,  and  subsequently,  are  accepted  unconditionally 
— as  sufScient  warrant  for  the  certificate  of  the  Board,  required  by 
law — from  all  colleges  which  give  evidence,  in  their  Announcements 
and  elsewise,  of  an  actual  and  bona-fide  compliance  with  the  Sched- 
ule herein  published.  The  diplomas  of  colleges  which  do  not  give 
such  evidence  are  required  to  be  supplemented  by  an  examination 
before  the  Board,  on  the  branches  or  subjects  of  the  Schedule  omitted 
by  the  colleges  in  question. 

The  figures  above  given  show  a  marked  improvement  in  the  pro- 
portion of  colleges  now  complying  with  these  requirements.  Whereas, 
during  the  first  year  after  the  Schedule  took  effect,  more  than  one-

'^ 


half  of  the  regular  and  two-thirds  of  the  other  schools  (whose  grad- 
uates applied  for  certificates)  had  failed  to  comply  in  one  or  more 
respects,  only  a  little  more  than  one-fourth  of  the  regulars  and  one- 
third  of  the  others  were  derelict  during  the  past  year. 

The  improvement  is  shown  in  detail  in  the  tables  embraced  in  the 
Summary  of  Institutions  and  Students,  which — among  other  things — 
show  that  there  are  now  110  colleges  which  exact  an  educational 
requirement  as  a  condition  of  matriculation  ;  in  the  first  Report  there 
were  only  45.  Attendance  on  three  or  more  lecture-courses  before 
graduation  is  now  required  by  36  colleges,  as  against  22  heretofore ; 
and  provision  is  made  for  a  three-  or  four-years'  graded  course  by 
45  others.  Hygiene  is  now  taught  in  91  colleges,  and  medical  juris- 
prudence in  97  ;  as  against  42  and  61,  respectively,  heretofore.  The 
average  duration  of  lecture-terms  has  increased  from  23.5  weeks  to 
a  fraction  over  25  weeks ;  7  more  colleges  have  lecture  termp  of  five 
months  or  over,  and  10  'more  have  terms  of  six  months  or  over,  as 
compared  with  the  sessions  of  1882-83. 

While  this  change  in  the  standard  and  methods  of  medical  educa- 
tion has  been  going  on,  it  is  worthy  of  note  that  the  numbers  of 
students  and  of  graduates  are  diminishing — the  latter  in  even  a 
greater  ratio  than  the  former.  The  classes  of  the  last  sessions 
(1884-85)  are  less  than  those  of  any  since  the  sessions  of  1882-83. 
There  were  in  attendance  upon  these  latter  sessions  13,088  students ; 
in  1883-84  there  were  12,762 — a  loss  of  over  two  and  a-half  per  cent. ; 
in  1884-85  there  were  12,002 — a  loss  of  over  eight  per  cent,  since  the 
Schedule  of  Minimum  Requirements  took  effect. 

At  the  close  of  the  sessions  of  1881-82  there  were  4,555  students 
graduated;  in  1882-83  there  were  4,215;  in  1883-84,  4,101,  and  in 
1884-85  only  3,831 — or  nearly  16  per  cent,  less  than  from  the  first- 
named  sessions. 

There  are  three  causes  combined  to  which  this  result  may  be 
attributed:  First,  "hard  times"  throughout  the  country  generally 
since  the  great  business  prosperity  of  1882 — although  the  value  of 
this  as  one  of  the  causes  is  weakened  by  the  fact  that  the  attend- 
ance upon  the  Canadian  schools  has  increased  instead  of  diminished, 
there  being  176  more  students  at  the  last  sessions  than  at  those  of 
the  previous  year,  a  gain  of  23  per  cent.  Second,  a  general  and 
increasing  c'esire  on  the  part  of  the  profession  to  elevate  the  stand- 
ard of  attainments  necessary  to  enter  its  ranks.  And,  third,  the 
enforcement  of  certain  requirements  in  States  which  have  enacted 
laws  regulating  the  practice  of  medicine. 

Under  such  a  law  the  Illinois  State  Board  of  Health,  in  1880, 
adopted  the  following 

SoBBDUijE  OF  Minimum  Requirements.  -  , . 

I.  Conditions  of  admission  to  lectube-courses. — 1.  Credible  cer- 
tificate of  good  moral  standing.  2.  Diploma  of  graduation  from  a 
good  literary  and  scientific  college,  or  high  school — a  first-grade 
teacher's  certificate.  Lacking  this — a  thorough  exaa  ination  in  the 
branches  of  a  good  English  education,  including  mathematics,  Eng- 
lish  composition,    and  elementary  physics  and  natural  philosophy.

II.  Branches  op  medical  science  to  be  included  in  the  course 
OF  INSTRUCTION.—!.  Anatomy.  2.  Physiology.  3.  Chemistry.  4.  Ma- 
teria Medica  and  Therapeutics.  5.  Theory  aiid  Practice  of  Medicine. 
6.  Pathology.  7.  Surgery.  8.  Obstetrics  and  Gynecology.  9.  Hy- 
giene.    10.  Medical  Jurisprudence. 

III.  Length  of  regular  graduating  courses. — 1.  The  time  occu- 
pied in  the  regular  courses  or  sessions  from  which  students  are 
graduated  shall  not  be  less  than  five  months,  or  twenty  weeks,  each. 
2.  Two  full  courses  oi  lectures,  not  within  one  and  the  same  year 
of  time,  shall  be  required  for  graduation  with  the  degree  of  Doctor 
of  Medicine. 

IV.  Attendance  and  examination  or  quizzes.— 1.  Regular  attend- 
ance during  the  entire  lecture  courses  shall  be  required,  allowance 
being  made  only  for  absences  occasioned  by  the  student's  sickness, 
such  absences  not  to  exceed  twenty  per  centum  of  the  course.  2. 
Regular  examinations  or  quizzes  to  be  made  by  each  lecturer  or 
professor  daily,  or  at  least  twice  each  week.  3.  Final  examinations 
on  all  branches  to  be  conducted,  when  practicable,  by  competent 
examiners  other  than  the  professors  in  each  branch. 

V.  Dissection,  clinics  and  hospital  attendan:.<!. — 1.  Each  stu- 
dent shall  have  dissected  during  two  courses.  2,  Attendance  during 
at  least  two  terms  of  clinical  and  hospital  instruction  shall  be  re- 
quired. 

VI.  Time  of  professional  studies. — This  shall  not  be  less  than 
three  fuli  years  before  graduation,  including  the  time  spent  with 
a  preceptor,  and  attendance  upon  lectures  or  at  clinics  and  hos- 
pital. 

VII.  Instruction.— The  college  must  show  that  it  has  a  sufiBcient 
and  competent  corps  of  instructors,  and  the  necessary  facilities  for 
teaching,  dissections,  clinics,  etc. 

Diplomas  of  colleges  whose  educational  requirements  and  meth- 
ods of  instruction  fall  short  of  the  above  schedule  are  not  recog- 
nized as  entitling  their  possessors  to  certificates  authorizing  them 
to  practice  in  the  State  of  Illinois.  (This  does  not  apply  to  diplo- 
mas issued  prior  to  the  sessions  of  1883-84,  but  only  to  those 
issued  at  the  close  of  said  sessions  and  subsequently.)  The  only 
way  in  which  holders  of  such  diplomas  may  legally  enter  upon 
practice  in  this  State  is  by  passing  a  satisfactory  examination 
before  the  Board  on  tjie  branches  or  subjects  of  the  Schedule 
omitted. 

This  Schedule  is,  therefore,  the  test  of  the  "good  standing"  of  a 
medical  college  in  Illinois.  Only  colleges  which  come  up  to  this 
minimum  standard  are  accounted  as  in  "good  standing."  To  de- 
termine the  status  of  any  given  institution,  it  is  only  necessary  to 
compare  the  summary  of  the  institution  set  forth  in  the  following 
pages  with  the  above  schedule. 

There  are  233  different  medical  institutions,  dating  from  the  year 
1765,  summarized  in  this  report.  Of  this  number  the  diplomas  or 
licenses  of  136  have  been  presented  to  the  Illinois  State  Board  of 
Health  for  verification  and  acceptance — 131  for  the  firsf  time  prior 
to  the  sessions  of  1883-84,    and  the   remaining  5  for  the  first  time 


6 


since  that  date.  There  are  now  remaining  in  existence  128  institu- 
tions of  medical  education  of  all  classes  which  are  empowered  to 
grant  degrees— 116  in  the  United  States,  and  12  in  Canada. 
Among  the  extinct  schools  there  are  56,  out  of  145  regular;  9,  out 
of  22  homeopathic;  20,  out  of  31  eclectic:  and  6,  out  <  f  9  physio- 
medical  and  miscellaneous.  All  the  fraudulent  institutions  are  now 
extinct.  ♦

Remarks:  "While  the  adoption  of  a  three  years' course  is  a  direct  pecuniary  disad- 
vantage t(i  the  college,  it  is  nevertheless  a  great  satisfaction  to  have  accomplished  this 
result,  as  It  has  been  the  constant  desire  of  the  faculty  to  raise  the  standard  of  medical 
education,  and  to  graduate  capable  rather  than  many  students."

Investigate  and  report  on  the  subject  of  diplomas  purporting  to  be  issued  by  the  Univer- 
sity of  Indiana."    The  (somraittoe  reported— 

(1)  That  such  an  institution  was  in  existence,  having  been  incorporated  by  an  act 
entitled  "An  act  to  incorporate  the  Christian  College,  In  New  Albany,  in  Floyd  county 
Indiana. 

'2)  That  said  college  was  organized  by  a  meeting  of  eight  persons,  at  the  house  of 
Bennett,  in  New  Albany. 

(3)  That  the  said  college,  under  its  charter,  claims,  and  probably  exercises  the  right 
to  confer  eight  different  kinds  ot  degrees  on  males,  and  seven  on  females. 

(f)  That  this  university  embraces  seven  departments,  including  a  department  of 
medicine. 

(5)  That  John  Cook  Bennett  was  bishop  and  secretary  of  the  gen(  ral  university,  and 
president,  chancellor  and  professor  of  midwifery  In  the  medical  department. 

(())  That  by  a  by-law,  the  bishop  was  authorized  to  send  out  commissioners  to  confer 
degrees,  etc. 

(7)  That  at  the  time  of  Issuing  the  diplomas,  this  university  did  not  possess  buildings, 
apparatus  or  facilities  of  any  kind  to  teach  physic  and  surgery;  had  not  given  any  full 
course  of  instruction,  nor  had  any  lectures  on  medical  science  been  delivered. 

And  finally,  that  the  charges  against  the  members  of  the  society  were  true;  whereupon

Remakes:  In  the  first  years  of  Its  existence  this  Institution  evidently  acted  in  good 
faith,  but  from  the  above  statement,  taken  from  its  last  announcement,  and  from  other 
information  obtained,  it  dons  not  appear  to  be  doing  so  at  the  present  time.  It  has  been 
repudiated  hy  the  Maine  Eclectic  Medical  Society,  the  Massachusetts  Eclectic  Medical 
Soelf  ty  and  the  National  Eclectic  Medical  Society.  A  movement  is  now  on  foot  to  have  Its 
charter  annulled,  and  this  Bhould  be  done  as  soon  as  possible.

JOHNS  HOPKINS  UNIVERSITY,  MEDICAL  DEPARTMENT. 
Baltimore,  Md.    D.  C.  Oilman,  LL.  D.,  President  of  the  University. 

A  PRELiMiNABY  cour.xe  of  training  for  young  men  who  propose  to  pursue  the  study  of 
medicine,  was  instituted  in  187r.  Physics,  chemistry  and  biology,  with  Latin.  German, 
French  and  English,  form  the  principal  elements  of  this  course,  with  opportunities  for 
study  of  psychology,  logic,  history,  and  other  branches  of  knowledge,  according  to  the 
requirements  of  the  scholar. 

"Opportunities  are  here  afforded  to  a  young  man,  who  expects  at  a  later  day  to  take 
up  the  study  of  nedicino,  to  become  proficient  in  laboratory  work  while  acrjuiring  a 
knowledge  of  German  and  French,  and  continuing  his  general  education.  A  course  Is 
arranged.  In  which  physics  for  the  first  year,  chemistry  for  the  second,  and  biological 
study  of  plants  Hnd  animals  for  the  third  year,  are  the  dominant  topics.  At  the  close  of 
this  course  the  student  should  have  become  proficient  in  a  knowledge  of  the  physical  and 
chemical  laws  which  underlii  the  conditions  of  lite;  he  should  have  become  familiar  with 
the  structure  and  functlot.3  of  living  things  in  their  normal  and  healthy  condition;  he 
should  have  become  skilled  in  the  use  of  the  miiu'oscope  and  other  physiological  appa- 
ratus; and  so,  when  he  enters  the  school  of  medicine  he  should  know  that  ho  has  been 
.fiVl  prepared  for  the  study  of  disease  and  of  its  treatment,  by  a  training  in  fundamental 
sciences  which  has  not  only  exercised  his  ey*^  and  hand,  but  has  accustomed  his  mind  to 
accurate  habits  of  observation  and  inquiry. "  This  course  is  one  of  seven  groups  of 
studies  which  lead  to  the  university  degree  of  Bachelor  of  Arts. 

The  latest  official  utterance  with  respect  to  the  organization  of  the  Medical  Dep'art- 
ment  is  as  follows:  "It  is  generally  known  that  since  the  beginning  of  this  university  a 
medical  school  has  been  projected.  Now  that  the  large  Johns  Hopkins  Hospital  ap- 
proaches coiufdetion,  and  thirteen  admirable  buildings  are  being  fitted  for  their  humane 
Eurposes,  the  thoughts  ot  the  administration  are  constantly  occupied  with  the  provisions 
ere  to  bo  made  for  advancing  tho-e  departments  of  knowledge  which  pertain  to  the  re- 
lief of  suffering,  the  prevention  of  disease  and  the  promotion  of  physical  well-being.  It 
is  for  this  reason  that  already  so  mm-h  attention  has  been  given  to  the  biological  sciences 
and  to  courses  of  study  whioh  may  fit  young  men  f  .r  the  successful  prosecution  of  their 
subsequent  professional  work.  We  are  neaily  ready  to  tnko  the  nt-xt  steps  forward.  Two 
sorts  of  professors  are  called  for  in  such  a  medical  school  as  we  propose  to  establish,— 
those  who  give  all  their  time  to  the  develoi)mimt  o(  some  branch  of  medical  science  with- 
out engHging  in  practice;  and  those  who,  by  the  constant  observation  and  treatment  of 
disease  at  the  bedside,  are  best  fitted  for  practi'^al  InstrU'-tion  and  clinical  advice.  With 
the  university  professors  of  chemistry  and  biology,  and  the  medical  adviser  of  the  hospi- 
tal, a  prf)fessor  of  pathology  is  now  associated,  and  negotiations  are  in  successful  pro- 
gress with  a  professor  of  thenipeutlcs  who  may  be  expected  to  join  the  staff  a  year  or 
more  hence.  On  another  occasion  the  trustees  will  have  the  opportunity  of  presenting 
these  gfntiemen  to  the  profession  of  Baltimore.  At  the  r)resent  time,  I  will  only  say  that 
Dr.  W.  H.  Welch,  (the  profes&or  of  pathology  just  referred  to),  is  alreatly  here.  To  his 
previous  acquisitions,  which  ^ere  of  the  highest  order,  he  has  added  a  year  ot  observa- 
tion and  study  In  Europe,— a  ymir  when  more  than  ever  before  the  nature  and  causes  of 
disease  have  been  considered  by  the  ablest  physicians  under  circumstances  most  favor- 
able for  the  ascertainment  of  truth;  and  we  anticipate  that  he  will  contribute  to  the  or- 
ganization of  our  school  of  medicine  wise  counsel,  wide  knowledge,  and  the  heartiest 
desire  to  promote  ^e  welfare  if  his  fellow-men  by  laborious  investigations  upon  the 
nature  of  human  ailments." 

It  Is  now  thought  that  the  meuical  school  will  open  in  the  Autumn  of  1887.  The  gentle- 
men below  named  con.stitute  the  nucleus  of  the  medical  faculty. 

Daniel  C.  Oilman,  LL.D.,  president;  H.  Newell  Martin,  Dr.  Sc,  M.  D.,  professor 
of  physiology;  Ira  IIemsen,  M.  D.,  Ph.  D.,  professor  of  chemistry;  Wili^iam  H.  Welch,

NEW  ENGLAND  UNIVEBSITY  OF  ARTS  AND  SCIENCES. 
Boston,  Miisa. 

Fraudulent— Extinct.  After  th«  repnal  of  the  charter  of  the  New  England  University 
of  the  Art-*  anil  HiUem^es.of  Ntnv  HurapHhlre,  diplomas  were  sold  bearjiisr  the  same  name, 
but  dated  at  Boston  instead  of  at  Manchester.  N.  H.  This  continued  until  the  surara'T  of 
1881,  when  another  expose  was  made  by  the  Illinois  State  1,'oaiid  of  Health,  which 
resulted  in  putting  a  stop  to  the  further  sale  of  these  diplomas. 

BELLEVUE  MEDICAL  COLLEGE  OF  MAS8A.CHU8ETTH. 
Boston,  Mass. 

Organized  in  1880.  A  fraudulent  institution,  exposed  by  the  Illinois  State  Boaed 
OP  Health  in  1882.    In  1883  the  charter  was  repealed.— See  below. 

MEDICAL  DEPAllTMENT  OF  THE  AMERICAN  UNIVERSITY  OF  BOSTON. 

FIRST  MEDICAL  COLLEGE  OF  THE  AMERICAN  HEALTH  SOCIETY. 

EXCELSIOR  MEDICAL  COLLEGE. 

The  exposure,  in  November.  1882,  by  the  Illinois  State  Boabd  or  Health,  of  the 
fraudulent  Bellevue  Medical  College  of  Massachuselts,  led  to  the  correction  of  a  Hagrant 
abuse  in  connection  with  the  issuing  of  medical  diplomas  in  Massachusetts.  Thn  '■Belle- 
vue" was  organized  under  the  '  Puilic  Htiitwtes  relating  to  Manufnctnriug  and  other  Cor- 
poratic 'IS,"  and  its  officers,  on  the  trial  which  resulted  fiom  the  exposure  referred  to, 
pleaded  that  thiy  werw  legally  incorporated,  and  wme  empowered  by  the  laws  of  Mas- 
sachusetts to  issue  diplomas  and  confer  degrees  without  any  restriction  as  to  course  of 
study  or  professional  attainments.  The  United  States  Commissioner,  before  whom  the 
trial  was  had,  holil  the  plea  to  be  valid,  and  dismissed  the  case,  with  the  following  re- 
marks:— 

"The  State  has  authorized  this  college  to  issue  degrees,  and  it  has  been  done  accord- 
ing to  legiil  right.  ♦  ♦  *  Th«^  law  makes  the  faculty  of  the  college  the  sole  judges 
of  eligibility  of  applicants  lor  diplomas  There  is  no  legal  rostriction,  no  legal  rentiire- 
ments.  If  the  Invully  choose  to  issue  degrees  to  incompetent  persons,  the  lav)s  of  Massa- 
chusetts authorize  it. 

As  a  result  of  this  decision,  the  "American  University  of  Boston,"  and  the  "First 
Medical  ('ollege  of  the  American  Health  Society,"  were  incorporated  under  the  same  au- 
thority as  the  "Bellevue;"  and  the  "Excelsior  Medical  Cidiege"  and  others  were  pro- 
jected. The  passage. (June  3iM88.S),of  an  act  forbidding  any  corporation,  orgaidzed  under 
the  public  statutes  above  referred  to,  from  conferring  medical  degrees  or  issuing  diido- 
mas,  or  certificates  conferring  or  purporting  to  confer  degrees,  unless  specially  author- 
ized by  the  Legislature  so  to  do,  deprived  these  concerns  of  the  only  object  of  their  cre- 
ation, namely,  the  sale  of  fraudulent  diplomas. 

This  action  and  the  exposure  which  led  thereto,  resulted  in  breaking  up  the  sale  of 
diplomas  in  Boston.

asked  to  give  an  account  of  his  )>reviou8  educational  advantaKes,  and  will  be  examined 
on  the  following: 

1st— A  good  Engli-^h  education,  comprising  a  competent  knowledge  of  arithmetic, 
spelling,  grammar,  tne  art  of  composition,  and  a  respectable  acauaintance  with  English

other  similar  work. 

2(1— A  competent  knowledge  of  political  and  physical  geography,  such  as  is  contained 
in  advanced  school  geographies  and  in  Ouoyt's  Physical  Geography.

appreciate  the  technical  language  of  the  natural  sciences  and  of  medicine.  It  is  also  con- 
sidered highly  desirable  that  they  have  a  general  grammatical  knowledge  of  the  German

STATE  BOARD  OF  HEALTH  OF  MI8S0URL 
St.  Louis.    Geo.  Homan,  M.  D.,  Secretary  of  the  Board. 

Reorganized  July  2. 1885,  havins?  been  then  In  existence  two  year.^.  The  provisions 
of  the  acts  creating  the  Board  and  deflalng  its  dutie-s  and  powers  are,  in  all  material 
points,  the  same  as  those  in  Illinois.  Its  standard  of  recognition  of  Medical  Colleges  as 
in  good  standing,  is  also  the  same  as  that  established  by  the  Illinois  Board. 

The  Board  has,  since  its  reorganization,  pursued  the  policy  of  issuing  licenses  to 
practice,  or  certificates,  only  to  graduates— their  compliance  in  every  particular  with 
existing  requirements  being  insisted  upon.  The  granting  of  certificates  to  non-graduate 
applicants,  after  examinations  held  by  the  Board  to  test  theirfitnessto  practice,  is  viewed 
with  disfavor;  and  by  a  resolution  passed  at  the  meeting  held  in  October,  1885,  it  was  de- 
clared as  the  sense  of  the  Board  that  this  feature  of  the  law  should  be  repealed  by  the 
Legislature— it  being  deemed  provisional  in  nature  and  no  longer  beneflcially  operative; 


mm

l'^ 


the  course  advised  being  that  those  seeking  the  legal  right  to  practice  in  the  State  should 
prepare  themselves  in,  and  be  duly  vouched  for  iis  to  fitness  by,  accredited  medical 
schools  before  coming  before  the  Board  for  offlcliil  recognition  and  license. 

The  possession  by  the  Board  of  delegated  police  power.and  its  judicial  exercise  in 
the  regulation  of  medical  practice,  the  licensing  of  practitioners,  the  refusal  to  issue  cer- 
tificates to  applicants  guilty  of  unprofessional  or  dishonorablrt  conduct,  and  the  Evoca- 
tion of  licenses  for  such  cause  have  been  fully  sustained  and  confirmed  by  the  Supreme 
Court  of  the  State  in  a  decision  rendered  in  December.  1884, 

In  the  exercise  of  its  discretion  in  the  determination  of  what  shall  be  held  to  consti- 
tute unprofessional  or  dishonorable  conduct  in  physicians,  the  Board  is  declared  to  be 
beyond  the  reach  of  mandatory  authority;  and  the  same  view  is  alfirmed  in  regard  to  its 
power  to  deal  with  medical  colleges,  provided  no  element  of  discrimination  in  favor  of  or 
against  pa  ticular  systems  or  schools,  legalized  by  the  State,  enters  into  its  decisions.

Remarks:  The  syf-tom  of  instruction  is  so  a.,  aiged  as  to  give  the  student  his  choice 
of  two  courses;  one  of  these  is  the  course  commonly  fjiven  in  utiior  medical  colleges, ^nd 
may  be  oompleted  (in  the  college)  in  two  years,  and  consists  of  two  co'.irses  of  didactic 
and  clinical  lectures,  including  lat^oratory  instruction  and  (li«sections.  The  othiT  course 
iS  designated  the  "Graded  Course."  and  based  upon  the  fact  that  a  regular  systematic 
graded  course  is  the  proper  one  (indeed  nece.ssary)  for  aeauiring  a  knowledge  of  any  of 
the  sciences,  and  a  number  of  years' experience  in  this  schooFhas  fully  demonstrated 
that  the  "Graded  Course"  is,  in  every  respect,  much  the  better  one  of  the  two,  and  is 
urged  upon  the  students  by  the  faculty,  as  it  allows  ample  time  for  thorough  and  Practi- 
cal work  in  all  departments,  while  the  evils  of  the  cramming  system  aro  avoided.— .£x.'rac<

Remarks:  The  above  is  collated  from  the  Fifth  Annual  Announcement  of  the 
school.  Its  existence  was  unknown  to  this  Board,  until  after  the  recent  law  regulating 
the  practice  of  medicine  and  surgery  in  the  State  of  Indiana  had  been  passed;  and 
repeated  letters  requesting  information  in  regard  to  its  history,  etc..  have  failed  to  elicit 
any  reply  from  the  faculty.  Owing  to  this  reticence  on  the  part  of  those  connected  with 
the  school,  letters  of  enquiry  were  sent  to  each  county  in  Indiana,  in  order  to  ascertain 
how  many  diplomas  had  been  placed  upon  record  in  the  offices  of  the  ('ircuit  Clerks.  By 
this  means  seventeen  graduates  have  been  discovered,  their  diplomas  being  dated  as  fol- 
lows: one.  March  1  1883;  one,  February  28, 1884;  one,  March,  1884;  eight,  March  4, 1885;  five,
